The rebirth of Shen Da girl

On the third day of August, two tables of banquets were set up in the Furong Garden of the Zhuang Mansion. The garden was full of fragrances, and a group of daughters-in-law and girls gathered together, either on the porch or in the gazebo, talking about things that they dare not speak loudly. own words.

The second young lady of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Yao, leaned halfway on the edge of the round table covered with a silk embroidered tablecloth, looked at Shen Xiang with affectionate eyes, and said nothing.

Shen Xiang was a little uncomfortable seeing her like this, so he turned half sideways, raised his eyes and said to her angrily: "What are you doing sneakily, it's annoying!"

Zhuang Yao is a good-natured person, she was not annoyed when she said that, she even got closer, and laughed at her, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I still miss you." Saying this, Wei Wei sat up straight, held up the Chazhan said: "Anyway, you are about to leave our city of Xizhou, why don't you allow me to take a second look?"

Although she said this with a joke, it was a temptation after all.

However, Shen Xiang didn't want to talk to her about it, so he just sprinkled the broken pastry on the handkerchief into the pool below, as if he hadn't heard of it.

After Zhuang Yao took a small sip of tea, she wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and continued to look at her with a restrained smile.

I saw an imperceptible trace of anger floating on Shen Xiang's exquisite face with painted eyebrows and red.Zhuang Yao is also a person who has been in the back house for a long time, thinking of the rumors he heard recently, he can't help but have guesses in his heart.

She said to herself: "A few days ago we were admiring the flowers in Cuiping Garden. Brother Qi'an asked the boys to bring a pot of 'Su Guan He Ding', which created a big battle."

"It's a pity, you're not here." Zhuang Yao looked at the embroidery on Shen Xiang's dress, and resumed her original half-smile look, and boasted to her: "Everyone knows that the water and soil of Xizhou City They don’t raise these flowers and plants. Only the Hu family has a big business, so they poured two pots with money.”

Zhuang Yao's remarks are not intentional exaggeration, but a fact.

Hu Yiguang spent huge sums of money to raise two orchid grasses.In addition to this plain crown lotus tripod, there is also a Jasper magnolia plant named "Fengzan".

In a while, it will be Prince Gong's birthday.

After Hu Bijun, the daughter of the Hu family, married into the palace two years ago, she had been cautious for so long, and finally sent back the news two months ago, saying that she was pregnant for more than three months.

Overjoyed, Hu Yiguang ordered people to pack more than a dozen boxes of gifts overnight, and sent them to the capital with the "Fengzan".

Prince Gong's knees are weak, so far he only has one sick and weak son, and he was born prematurely with defects.If this child can land safely, regardless of gender, he will definitely be favored by Prince Gong.

When the time comes, the Hu family will rise with the tide, and there will be plenty of good things.A pot of jasper leaves is nothing more than a pot, although it is delicate, it is still worth it.

Zhuang Yao was watching from the side that day, more or less jealous.

She thought of Hu Bijun, who married into the palace, who was inferior to her in terms of talent and appearance.But not to mention her parents who love her, she also has a handsome younger brother——Hu Qi'an.

Naturally, such an outstanding man would not stay in such a remote place as Xizhou City for the rest of his life.What's more, six months ago, her family made an engagement for her.

By the end of the year, she will put on a red hijab and step into the threshold of that strange man.With all the calculations, the good days of being a girl are only a few days away.

Looking at Shen Xiang, who was just showing off his glory, Zhuang Yao couldn't help sighing.

She said: "After leaving, I am afraid that the day of seeing you again in this life will be gone."

Shen Xiang couldn't see her sighing like this, so he couldn't help standing up after hearing this, and smiled at her slightly: "Sister Yao, just sit here, and I'll go to the garden." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhuang Yao In response, he led the servant girl Ke Xin away.

As soon as she left, the gazebo straddling the pool seemed a little lonely.

At the beginning of August, the city of Xizhou was already chilly, and the thin cold wind blew on people's faces, which made people feel chills.

Because of Shen Xiang's negligence, Zhuang Yao's face turned red at this time, obviously angry.

She frowned, and said rather dissatisfied: "It's too arrogant!" As she spoke, she stood up with the help of her maidservant.

Looking at Shen Xiang's back, Zhuang Yao's eyes lightened slightly, as if thinking of something happy, her brows were beaming with joy in an instant.

She asked the person next to her, "Hongmei, who do you think that is?"

The maid Hongmei looked in the direction of Zhuang Yao's finger, and saw a delicate young lady standing beside the red pillar in the corridor.

She followed suit with a smile, and hurriedly replied: "Miss, she is the cousin of the Hu family."

This cousin girl is not an ordinary person, but the daughter of Hu Yiguang's younger sister. Her surname is Dou, and her single name is Jia.

Like the Hu Mansion, the people living in the Dou Mansion are also businessmen.The Hu Mansion and the Dou Mansion, one buying and selling jade, and the other doing antique appraisal, can be described as a perfect match!

It stands to reason that Dou Jia, a delicate boudoir lady, has no reason to come to Xizhou City after a long journey.But Mrs. Hu celebrated her [-]th birthday a while ago, and she missed her granddaughter again, so Hu Yiguang's younger sister, Hu Xin, took her daughter back to her natal home for a short stay.

Dou Jia grew up in Pingzhou, as a well-known and rich place, Dou Jia's clothes are naturally different from ordinary people.

In the Hibiscus Garden, the only one who can share the same status with Dou Jia is Shen Xiang.

Right now, Shen Xiang was walking slowly in the garden, as if he didn't see Dou Jia, and was indifferent to everything around him.

Dou Jia has met her before, so she naturally knows that she loves top-notch characters.This sullen look doesn't look like her now.

"Jia'er, what are you looking at?" Zhuang Yao walked over and followed Dou Jia's gaze.I saw Shen Xiang standing quietly under a weeping willow tree, not knowing what he was thinking.

Dou Jia has no interest in Shen Xiang, but she is a girl from the Hou family after all, so she will inevitably be more concerned.

"Sister Yao, I heard that the Hou Mansion brought back a young lady with an unknown background, is there such a thing?" Dou Jia lowered her voice and asked softly.

Zhuang Yao looked around calmly, and when she saw no one was paying attention, she just twisted the handkerchief and said to her: "That's right."

Shen Wenxin's origin was originally unknown, but now he has been given the name of "unknown".Anyone in Xizhou City who has eyes and ears knows that this "Miss" is a hot potato.If the Jingbian Hou's Mansion really wanted to send the girl to the palace, it would cause trouble to the upper body and be dishonorable.

For them, this is a lesson learned.

At the beginning, Hu Bijun brought 20 snowflake silver as a dowry, but he just entered the prince's mansion to be a concubine, not even a concubine.

If she hadn't been capable this time, she would have conceived Prince Gong's child.In a few years, when Prince Gong is completely useless, she will only be a widow for the rest of her life.

Although Prince Gong was young and fierce, he dared to raid the Tartars' lair with an army of three thousand.But after all, today is different from the past. Shizi is not only weak, but also a dwarf with impaired eyesight.Now that Prince Gong, who is over half a century old, is already a hero.

Hu Bijun's birth can be said to be his last hope.

Although the Hu family had hit the right treasure, the price was heavy.Hu Bijun was in his youth, and was handed over by his parents to an old man who was more than 30 years older than himself.Who would discuss her thoughts and sufferings in front of others?

For some reason, Dou Jia suddenly smiled with some contempt.
